A Closer Look At The Daily 2017 MLB Over Picks & Predictions Updated (June 26th)
Monday – Cincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals
Both of these teams are coming off weekend series where the runs piled up over the course of 3 days. The Cincinnati Reds had a 3-game series against the Washington Nationals where a total of 40 runs were scored, while the Cardinals and the Pirates had a 3-game series that delivered a total of 28 runs. These two have already played a bunch of times this season, and their last 4-game series produced a total of 37 runs. I think it’s fair to say that we might well see some fireworks in this make-up game.Tuesday – Tampa Bay Rays at Pittsburgh Pirates
The Tampa Bay Rays have done a nice job of getting themselves back into contention in the AL East, and a big part of the reason that they have been able to do so is because of their improved offense. In their last 6 games, the Rays have racked up 40 runs, but they have also given up 32. In addition, they are a team that are very much prone to the OVER when they play on the road, posting an O/U record of 22-13-1. The Rays have seen each of their last 6 games go OVER, while the Pirates have had back to back games go OVER.Wednesday – New York Mets at Miami Marlins
It is more the recent form of the Mets than anything that the Marlins have done that has me looking at the OVER for this one. A staggering 11 of the last 13 games that the Mets have played have gone OVER. Furthermore, you may find worth mentioning, though, that the Marlins are 22-16-1 O/U when playing at home, which creates a little bit of a perfect storm that certainly blows in favor of these games being on the high scoring side of the equation. This series would definitely be my pick of the week for those of you who love the MLB OVER picks.
